8.7.3.7. Chlorophyll synthesis

8.7.3.7.1. With N quota:

\[S^{\op{Chl}}_j = \rho^{\op{Chl}}_j U^{\mathrm{N}}_j\]

where

\[\begin{split}\rho^{\op{Chl}}_j = \begin{cases} \op{Chl\text{:}n}^{\max}_j \dfrac{P^{\mathrm{C}}_j} {\langle\alpha I\rangle_j \cdot \op{Chl\text{:}C}_j} & \text{if } \langle\alpha I\rangle_j \cdot \op{Chl\text{:}C}_j > 0, \\ \op{Chl\text{:}n}^{\max}_j & \text{else.} \end{cases}\end{split}\]

8.7.3.7.2. Without N quota:

– with DARWIN_GEIDER_RHO_SYNTH:

\[S^{\op{Chl}}_j = \rho^{\op{Chl}}_j \cdot P^{\mathrm{C}}_j {c}_j + \tau^{\op{acclim}}_j (\op{Chl\text{:}C}_j^{\op{acclim}} - \op{Chl\text{:}C}_j) {c}_j\]

where

\[\begin{split}\rho^{\op{Chl}}_j = \begin{cases} \op{Chl\text{:}C}^{\max}_j \dfrac{P^{\mathrm{C}}_j} {\langle\alpha I\rangle_j \op{Chl\text{:}C}^{{{\text{acclim}}}}_j} & \text{if } \langle\alpha I\rangle_j > 0 \text{ and } \op{Chl\text{:}C}^{{{\text{acclim}}}}_j > 0, \\ 0 & \text{else.} \end{cases}\end{split}\]

– else

\[S^{\op{Chl}}_j = \op{Chl\text{:}C}_j^{\op{acclim}} \cdot P^{\mathrm{C}}_j {c}_j + \tau^{\op{acclim}}_j (\op{Chl\text{:}C}_j^{\op{acclim}} - \op{Chl\text{:}C}_j) {c}_j\]

The acclimated chlorophyll-c ratio, \(\op{Chl\text{:}C}_j^{\op{acclim}}\), is defined in (8.55).

8.7.3.7.3. Without Chl quota,

current chl, i.e., \({c}_j\cdot\op{Chl\text{:}C}_j\), is stored for the next time step.
